Hey there bike tour people! Are you already hibernating or still on the road? We started to set up some communication structure for organising a queer flinta thing next year. It is not clear at the moment whether we want to make a separate small tour or-and start ecotopia again in chosen mixity or something else. Sofar there is -a messenger group that can be joined via signal or matrix(no phone number or smartphone required) here the link for it: https://matrix.to/#/!XuTvqKVdVhGdcgkhZO:ecotopiabiketour.net?via=matrix.org… - a pad for orga and feedback2022 https://pad.rankenste.in/p/flintaqueer2023 - and a mailing list https://lists.riseup.net/www/subscribe/queertopia Feel free to join the queerflinta orga in whatever way you want and don't hesitate to ask questions if you have trouble with all those virtual tools! ;) Have a good wintertime! I am looking forward to seeing you again next cycling season! L

Ecotopia Biketour 2023 - Join the Orga! :) <3

Dear ecotopians!! We hope the summer has been full of inspiration for you!!! :) Aaaaaand we also hope that you feel inspired to contribute with a little of your own motivation and ideas to next year's biketour! Everyone's contribution is truly important, because we want the biketour collective to reflect the activism and diversity of all of its participants! This email covers some practical information on how to get involved for 2023! The first step would be to join the chat group. We use this chat group to facilitate quick and informal discussions. You can join the chat either through a Signal account or a Matrix account. The two platforms are linked and the messages of one are automatically copied to the other. Click on the links below to join the chat : Signal group : https://signal.group/#CjQKIEMEMxYSMYS9XYaNwO-HoNXafttiKz3b8k-barwholEyEhBha… Matrix room : https://matrix.to/#/!YynCDvqgsTNOsiUQAB:ecotopiabiketour.net?via=ecotopiabi… (write us an e-mail with your Matrix ID to get invited to the room) The second step is to send a message (email or chat) describing what motivates you to join, where you are based (country, region, city) and the areas you would like to get involved in (routing, networking, artwork, trailers, webpage, translations, IT infra, workshops, admin, funding, hosting, events, etc...). You can respond directly to the biketour 2023 email address (2023(a)ecotopiabiketour.net). If you aren't yet on the biketour orga mailing list (bt-org(a)eyfa.org) and would like to be added, please let us know. The third step is to reflect on the locations where you think the biketour should go in 2023. We have created a collaborative map to use for the biketour planning : https://facilmap.org/bt23edit. For reference, here's a list of the countries the biketour has visited since 1990: https://wiki.ecotopiabiketour.net/Countries We will discuss the choice of countries and rough routing during the winter meeting this year (see info below). For those that are new to ecotopia, you can find more general information about the biketour on these sites: Ecotopia webpage : https://www.ecotopiabiketour.net Ecotopia wiki : https://wiki.ecotopiabiketour.net For those that will want to get more involved in the orga, we have a few online tools that we use to get organized! :) We will do a small workshop on ecotopia tech and tools during the winter meeting so that you can become familiar with them :) As is the ecotopian tradition, we will organize two meetings in preparation for the biketour : one meeting in the winter (November or December 2022) and another meeting in the spring (March or April 2023). We would need to confirm the location and dates of the winter meeting. If you have any thoughts or proposals, feel free to share them. Here's a pad to brainstorm ideas : https://pad.rankenste.in/p/bt23_wintermeeting_plan We aim at making a final decision for the winter meeting by mid-October so that those who wish to get involved have enough time to organize their travel and stay. In solidarity, The Ecotopia Biketour Collective

Joining on 29 July
by Aleksander Buczyński 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Good morning biketour, I'd like to try to catch up with you tomorrow (Friday, 29 July). If things go as planned, I should arrive to Saarbruecken and hopefully pick up Likken's bike around lunch time. Any hints on how to find biketour from there would be very much appreciated! A name of town, GPS coordinates etc. Can be either for the lunch spot, or the sleeping place, or even the sleeping place for the night before (tonight) - whatever you have. Thanks, Olek

Joining next week from Spain
by Quasipodo 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

Hello fellow ecotopians! I'll be joining the ecotopia biketour next week in Stratsbourg, for two weeks, until Besançon. I'm coming with my bike from the Aragonese Pyrenees (Huesca, Spain), starting this Thursday 28th of July. Obviously and because of my tight time availability, I'll be hitchhiking, taking buses and trains. But if anyone is on their way as well, I'd love to go with more other people. Really looking forward for this year's ecotopia and to see and meet you all! Hugs and see you soon! ^_^ ~ Abel.

Hi dear Ecotopians ! I've sent my registration request few days ago, don't know if I'm right to skip the answer and write straight to you this way ? 😅 I would like to join you soon, are you still stopping by Besch bleibt - Trier in Germany from 25th to 27th of July ? If so, how and when can I reach you please ? I think I will come from France by train / bus to Luxembourg, then probably by bike until your current location. Please let me know 😊 thanks ! See you, Mélody

Dear ecotopia bike Tour participants , I will join probably End oft August / Beginning oft september till end of the Tour. [The first time, like the idea about self organized cycle tour; experienced about cycle tours in general] Till now i didnt had any capacitys to support in any way :(. Sorry for that. But i guess/hope this will change really soon. Nevertheless i don't have (till now) any clue how to support. So if there is anything in need please feel free to contact me. If there are any people from Berlin also joining somehow around end august/beginning September we could maybe also get in contact? Anyway, I wish you all a nice tour, best weather and looking forward to meet you :) Greetings Jay

Bike available on lyon
by likken 13 Jul '22

Somebody will be cycling with the bike I'm using from Strasbourg until Lyon and leaves there. So if you know anybody who wants to join in Lyon and has no bike, here is a solution. It is a rather tall, good quality travelbike. I found it in the streets and do not necessarily need to get it back. The tour will be in Lyon approx 24-27th of august. Happy or angry cycling to all of us, L
